Because the bankruptcy estate is so extensive and the jurisdiction of the court so broad, there may be lawsuits over the property or property rights of the estate. There also may be lawsuits concerning the debtor's discharge. If such a lawsuit is filed in a bankruptcy court, it is called an adversary proceeding.\n\nA party filing an adversary proceeding must also must complete and file Form 1040, the Adversary Proceeding Cover Sheet, unless the party files the adversary proceeding electronically through the court's Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF). (CM/ECF captures the information on Form 1040 as part of the filing process.) When completed, the cover sheet summarizes basic information on the adversary proceeding. The clerk of court needs the information to process the adversary proceeding and prepare required statistical reports on court activity.\n\nThe cover sheet and the information contained on it do not replace or supplement the filing and service of pleadings or other papers as required by law, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the local rules of court. The cover sheet, which is largely selfexplanatory, must be completed by the plaintiff's attorney (or by the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney). A separate cover sheet must be submitted to the clerk for each complaint filed.\n\n**Plaintiffs** and **Defendants.** Give the names of the plaintiffs and defendants exactly as they appear on the complaint.\n\n**Attorneys.** Give the names and addresses of the attorneys, if known.\n\n**Party**. Check the most appropriate box in the first column for the plaintiffs and the second column for the defendants.\n\n**Demand.** Enter the dollar amount being demanded in the complaint.\n\n**Signature.** This cover sheet must be signed by the attorney of record in the box on the second page of the form. If the plaintiff is represented by a law firm, a member of the firm must sign. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not represented by an attorney, the plaintiff must sign.\n\n# **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n| ----------------------------------------------------------- | | x |\n|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|\n| In re: | :

Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the\n\nchapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\" or \"Kwok\"), files this\n\n1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\nadversary complaint (the \"Complaint\") against defendant Direct Persuasion LLC (the \"Defendant\"), stating as follows:\n\n#### **NATURE OF ACTION**\n\n1. The Trustee commences this adversary proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") to avoid and recover transfer of the Debtor's property prior to the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n2. The Debtor, through his alter ego shell company, HCHK Technologies, Inc. (\"HCHK Technologies\") transferred funds in the amount of \\$550,000.00 prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein) to the Defendant as initial transferee.\n\n3. This transfer was actually fraudulent, because the Debtor effectuated it as part of his \"shell game,\" and it was made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n4. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b).\n\n5. This adversary proceeding has been referred to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(a).\n\n6. The statutory predicates for the relief sought herein include sections 544, 548, and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code and New York Debtor & Creditor Law sections 273, 274, and 276 2 or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n2 All statutory references to New York Debtor and Creditor Law will hereinafter be referred to as \"N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law\". The New York Uniform Voidable Transactions Act (\"NYUVT\") replaced the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (\"NYUFC\") and became effective on April 4, 2020 and applies to transfer made or obligations incurred on or after April 4, 2020. With respect to transfer prior to April 4, 2020, the Trustee seeks relief in this action under the NYUFC and N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law §§273, 273-a, 274, 275, 276 and 278.\n\n#### **THE PARTIES**\n\n7. The Trustee is the chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's order entered on July 8, 2022 [Case No. 22-50073 (the \"Main Case\") Docket No. 523].\n\n8. The Defendant is a Delaware limited liability company with an address at 1300 17th Street, Arlington, Virginia 22209.\n\n#### **FACTS**\n\n#### **A. Chapter 11 Case**\n\n9. The Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Bankruptcy Court\"), thus commencing the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n10. On March 21, 2022, the Office of the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in this Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed.\n\n11. The Debtor's bankruptcy schedules, filed in March 2022 with the Bankruptcy Court, claimed that he owned \\$3,850 in assets and had incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of liabilities.3 While the Debtor was, indeed, deeply indebted, his schedules failed to disclose the Debtor's property as held and/or transferred through his many alter ego shell companies, including, HCHK Technologies.\n\n12. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Main Case Docket No. 465] directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to this order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the\n\n3 Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nTrustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [Main Case Docket No. 523].\n\n#### **B. Debtor's Use of Shell Companies and Trustee's Adversary Proceedings**\n\n13. HCHK Technologies is among the numerous alter ego shell companies used by the Debtor to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.4 For years, the Debtor has orchestrated a \"shell game,\" employing a convoluted web of shell companies, nominally owned by family members, lieutenants, and/or subordinates, but in reality, controlled by the Debtor. This shell game enabled the Debtor to use and spend and/or transfer millions of dollars of cash and other assets—while concealing his property from creditors.\n\n14. Since his appointment, the Trustee has commenced a number of adversary proceedings in the Chapter 11 Case to, among other things, establish that the Debtor's shell companies were his alter egos and/or that such companies and their assets were equitably owned by the Debtor and in several the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.5\n\n15. The fact patterns in these litigations consistently involve: (i) Debtor-controlled shell companies held by close family members and/or subordinates, (ii) assets purchased with cash from\n\n4 Default has entered against HCHK Technologies in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013 (the \"HCHK Entities A.P.\"), Docket No. 139), which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that HCHK Technologies was the alter ego of the Debtor. A motion to set aside the default is currently pending. (Docket no. 172). The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the HCHK Entities A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013, Docket No. 1).\n\n5 These include the following adversary proceedings: (i) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]; (ii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]; (iii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Mei Guo [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]; (iv) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]; (v) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Taurus Fund LLC, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017]; (vi) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited [Adv. Proc. 23- 05018]; and (vii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al. [Adv. Proc. 23-05023].\n\nother Debtor-controlled entities and/or transferred to and among shell entities for no consideration, and (iii) the Debtor benefiting from and having control and dominion over such assets.\n\n#### **C. Debtor's Conduct to Hinder, Delay, and/or Defraud Creditors**\n\n16. In addition to the matters addressed in the Trustee's adversary proceedings, the Bankruptcy Court has found that the Debtor was the beneficial owner of Ace Decade Limited (and through it, Dawn State Limited) and that the Debtor controlled and employed Ace Decade Limited's nominee shareholder, Yvette Wang.6\n\n17. The Bankruptcy Court has also found that the \"G Entities\" (Gettr, G Fashion, G Music, GClubs, GNews and GEdu), the New Federal State of China and the Rule of Law Foundation, as well as other purportedly independent entities and organizations, were controlled by the Debtor7 , led by the Debtor8 and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.9\n\n18. Prior to the Petition Date, Judge Liman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, an entity originally owned by one of the Debtor's chefs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.10\n\n6 Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order, ¶¶ 1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"Corp. Governance Contempt Order\").\n\n7 *Corrected Memorandum of Decision Granting in Part Motion for Preliminary Injunction*, ¶ 3 (Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023 (\"The Debtor also controls Saraca Media Group and a related entity 'GTV'\").\n\n8 *Id*. at ¶ 7 (\"The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.\").\n\n9 *Id*. (\"The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF, GSeries, and Himalaya serve the purposes of the Debtor, serve as business vehicles for the Debtor, and their members are personally loyal to the Debtor.\").\n\n10 *Eastern Profit Corp. Ltd. v. Strategic Vision US LLC*, No. 18-CV-2185 (LJL) 2021 WL 2554631, at \\*1 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021).\n\n19. The Debtor has gone to great lengths to hinder and delay the collection efforts of one of his largest creditors, *i.e.*, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P. (\"PAX\"). In 2017, PAX sued the Debtor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the \"New York Court\"), Index No. 652077/2017 (the \"PAX Case\"), seeking judgment for monies owed. On February 3, 2021, PAX obtained a judgment from the New York Court against the Debtor in the sum of \\$116,402,019.57 (the \"PAX Judgment\"). PAX sought to enforce the PAX Judgment by levying the Debtor's assets—including the Lady May, which the Debtor falsely claimed was owned by his daughter, and the Debtor's luxury apartment in Manhattan, which the Debtor falsely claimed was held in trust for the Debtor's son. The Debtor's defiance of New York Court orders in postjudgment proceedings eventually resulted in the Debtor incurring contempt penalties of \\$134 million.\n\n20. The Debtor also used his alter egos, including HCHK Technologies, as personal piggy-banks, funding the lavish lifestyle to which he and his family had become accustomed, while concealing assets in these alter egos from his creditors and hindering and delaying creditors from recoveries on their claims. The transfer that the Debtor effectuated through these alter egos perpetuated the Debtor's fraudulent scheme.\n\n21. The Debtor has testified before the Bankruptcy Court that he has insufficient assets to pay his liabilities and that his luxurious lifestyle is funded by his family through businesses nominally held by family members.11 The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.12\n\n11 Hearing on Debtor's Motion for Entry of Interim and Final DIP Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtor to Obtain Unsecured, Subordinated Postpetition Financing and (II) Scheduling Interim and Final Hearings, and (III) Granting Related Relief (Main Case, April 27, 2022)\n\n12 *See* n.3\n\n22. In March 2023, the Debtor was arrested and remains confined pending his trial on federal criminal charges of, among other things, wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering.\n\n23. In its criminal indictment of the Debtor, the United States Government asserts that the Debtor and his co-defendants \"utilized more than approximately 500 accounts held in the names of *at least 80 different entities or individuals* to launder more than \\$1 billion in fraud proceeds.\"13\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including HCHK Technologies, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n25. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the prepetition transfer at issue in this Complaint.\n\n### **D. Transfer Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n26. The Prepetition Transfer at issue in this Complaint were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors inasmuch as they were all made through the Debtor's alter-ego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\n\n27. The Debtor intentionally orchestrated his financial affairs in this manner in order to conceal and dissipate millions of dollars in assets while falsely pleading poverty to his many creditors. The Debtor claimed to be destitute while simultaneously spending heavily to maintain a billionaire lifestyle for himself and for his family members and close associates.\n\n13 *See* Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang's Motion for Pretrial Release at 29, attached as Exhibit B in the Reply of Chapter 11 Trustee to G Club Operations LLC's Supplemental Objection to Trustee's Motion to Compel and Request for Related Relief (June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934).\n\n28. The assets concealed and dissipated by the Debtor included funds that he obtained from the victims of his cryptocurrency, securities, and other fraud schemes. As a result of this conduct, the Debtor faces multiple felony fraud, money laundering, and racketeering charges in a criminal case pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. *See United States v. Ho Wan Kwok*, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.).\n\n29. The Debtor knew and intended that by concealing and dissipating his assets in this manner there would not be sufficient assets remaining to repay his creditors—including the many victims of his frauds. This transfer was thus necessarily made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n#### **E. Transfer to the Defendant**\n\n30. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company, HCHK Technologies, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to the Defendant (collectively, the \"Prepetition Transfer\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n31. At the time of the Prepetition Transfer, the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n32. The Defendant was the initial transferee of the Prepetition Transfer.\n\n#### **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n## **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfer Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n33. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n34. The Prepetition Transfer was made by the Debtor through his alter egos, HCHK Technologies, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n8\n\n35. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Prepetition Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Prepetition Transfer was effectuated using an alter ego shell company;\n\nb. The Prepetition Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Prepetition Transfer was effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the aid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd. The Prepetition Transfer furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\ne. The Prepetition Transfer furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\nf. At the time of the Prepetition Transfer, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Prepetition Transfer, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n36. The Prepetition Transfer is avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to section 548(a)(i)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and are recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n9\n\n### **SECOND CLAIM**\n\n## **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfer pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 274, and 276, and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a))**\n\n37. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n38. The Prepetition Transfer was made by the Debtor, through his alter ego, HCHK Technologies, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n39. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the\n\nPrepetition Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\n- a. The Prepetition Transfer was effectuated using an alter ego shell company;\n- b. The Prepetition Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Prepetition Transfer was effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the aid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd. The Prepetition Transfer furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\ne. The Prepetition Transfer furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\nf. At the time of the Prepetition Transfer, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng.

Law sections 273(a)(1), 274, and 276, and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **PRAYER FOR RELIEF**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that judgment be entered as follows:\n\n1.

Despins，以获任管理 Ho Wan Kwok（“债务人”或“Kwok”）第11章案件（“第11章案件”）的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份，提交本\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 破产财产的受托人（仅为通知和通信之目的）。\n\n对抗性起诉状（“起诉状”），针对被告 Direct Persuasion LLC（“被告”）提出如下陈述：\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人根据《美国法典》第11编（“破产法典”）提起本对抗程序，以撤销并追回在本第11章案件开始前对债务人财产作出的转让。\n\n2. 债务人通过其另我空壳公司 HCHK Technologies, Inc.（“HCHK Technologies”），在申请日（定义如下）之前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了金额为 $550,000.00 的资金。\n\n3. 该项转让属实际欺诈性转让，因为债务人将其作为其“空壳把戏”的一部分实施，且该项转让具有阻碍、延迟及/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n管辖权和审判地\n\n4. 本法院依据 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b) 对本对抗程序具有事项管辖权。\n\n5. 本对抗程序已依据 28 U.S.C. § 157(a) 移送本法院。\n\n6. 本文所请求救济的法定依据包括《破产法典》第544、548和550条，以及《纽约债务人与债权人法》第273、274和276条 2，或任何其他适用的州法等同规定。\n\n2 以下对《纽约债务人与债权人法》的所有法条引用均称为“N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law”。《纽约统一可撤销交易法》（“NYUVT”）取代了《纽约统一欺诈性让与法》（“NYUFC”），并于2020年4月4日生效，适用于2020年4月4日当日或之后作出的转让或承担的义务。就2020年4月4日之前的转让而言，受托人在本案中依据 NYUFC 及 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law §§273, 273-a, 274, 275, 276 and 278 寻求救济。\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人是根据破产法院于2022年7月8日作出的命令，在第11章案件中担任第11章受托人[案件编号 22-50073（“主案件”）案卷编号 523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家特拉华州有限责任公司，地址为 1300 17th Street, Arlington, Virginia 22209。\n事实\nA. 第11章案件\n\n9. 债务人于2022年2月15日在 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格地区美国破产法院）（“破产法院”）提交了依据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请（“申请日”），从而启动第11章案件。\n\n10. 2022年3月21日，Office of the United States Trustee（美国受托人办公室）在本第11章案件中任命了一个无担保债权人正式委员会。尚未任命审查人。\n\n11. 债务人于2022年3月向破产法院提交的破产财产清单称，其拥有 $3,850 的资产，并负有数亿美元债务。3 尽管债务人确实负债累累，其财产清单未披露债务人通过其众多另我空壳公司（包括 HCHK Technologies）持有及/或转让的财产。\n\n12. 2022年6月15日，法院作出裁决备忘录和命令[主案件案卷编号 465]，指示美国受托人在第11章案件中任命一名第11章受托人。依该命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 担任\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第1页[主案件案卷编号 78]。\n\n受托人。2022年7月8日，法院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 为第11章案件的受托人[主案件案卷编号 523]。\nB. 债务人对空壳公司的使用及受托人的对抗程序\n\n13. HCHK Technologies 是债务人用以阻碍、延迟及/或欺诈其债权人的众多另我空壳公司之一。4 多年来，债务人精心策划了一场“空壳把戏”，使用由其家属、副手及/或下属名义持有、但实际上由债务人控制的错综复杂的空壳公司网络。这场空壳把戏使债务人得以使用、支出及/或转移数百万美元的现金和其他资产，同时向债权人隐匿其财产。\n\n14. 自任命以来，受托人已在第11章案件中提起多项对抗程序，以便除其他事项外，确认债务人的空壳公司系其另我及/或该等公司及其资产由债务人衡平所有，而破产法院在数起案件中已准予该等救济。5\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯涉及：(i) 由近亲属及/或下属持有的债务人控制的空壳公司，(ii) 以现金购买的资产\n\n4 在对抗程序 Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al（对抗程序编号 23-5013（“HCHK Entities A.P.”），案卷编号 139）中，已对 HCHK Technologies 作出缺席裁定；该对抗程序除其他事项外，寻求确认判决，确认 HCHK Technologies 为债务人的另我。目前，撤销该缺席裁定的动议尚待裁决。（案卷编号 172）。受托人通过引用方式将受托人在 HCHK Entities A.P. 中提交的起诉状（对抗程序编号 23-5013，案卷编号 1）纳入本文。\n\n5 这些包括以下对抗程序：(i) Luc A. Despins（吕克·A·德斯潘），第11章受托人诉 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（HK国际基金投资〈美国〉有限公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Greenwich Land LLC（格林尼治土地有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Mei Guo（郭梅）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK科技公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Taurus Fund LLC（金牛基金有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Golden Spring (New York) Limited（金泉〈纽约〉有限公司）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Lamp Capital LLC（兰普资本有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05023]。\n\n其他由债务人控制的实体，和/或在空壳实体之间无偿转移，及 (iii) 债务人从该等资产中受益并对其拥有控制权和支配权。\n\nC. 债务人为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人而实施的行为\n\n16. 除受托人对抗程序中所涉事项外，破产法院已认定，债务人是 Ace Decade Limited（艾斯十年有限公司）（并通过该公司为 Dawn State Limited（道恩州有限公司））的实益所有人，且债务人控制并雇用 Ace Decade Limited 的名义股东 Yvette Wang（王雁平）。6\n\n17. 破产法院还认定，“G Entities”（Gettr（GETTR）、G Fashion（G时尚）、G Music（G音乐）、GClubs（G俱乐部）、GNews（G新闻）及 GEdu（G教育））、New Federal State of China（新中国联邦）及 Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金会），以及其他表面上独立的实体和组织，均由债务人控制7、由债务人领导8，和/或服务于债务人的“目的……并作为债务人的商业工具”。9\n\n18. 在申请日之前，United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）的 Liman 法官认定，Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（东方盈利有限公司）——该实体最初由债务人的一名厨师所有，后转让给债务人的女儿——在“本质上是”债务人的一家空壳公司。10\n\n6 准许认定债务人藐视《公司治理命令》之动议的命令，第¶¶ 1、4段（Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372（“Corp. Governance Contempt Order”））。\n\n7 部分准许初步禁令动议的更正裁决备忘录，第¶ 3段（Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023（“债务人还控制 Saraca Media Group（萨拉卡媒体集团）及相关实体‘GTV’”））。\n\n8 同上，第¶ 7段（“债务人是 The Whistleblower Movement（爆料革命）、NFSC、ROLF 和 Himalaya（喜马拉雅）的领导人。”）。\n\n9 同上。（“The Whistleblower Movement、NFSC、ROLF、GSeries 和 Himalaya 服务于债务人的目的，作为债务人的商业工具，其成员在个人上忠于债务人。”）。\n\n10 Eastern Profit Corp. Ltd. v. Strategic Vision US LLC, No. 18-CV-2185 (LJL) 2021 WL 2554631, at \\*1 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021).\n\n19. 债务人为阻碍和拖延其最大债权人之一，即 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金有限合伙企业）（“PAX”）的追偿工作，已不遗余力。2017年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（“纽约法院”）起诉债务人，案号 Index No. 652077/2017（“PAX案件”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。2021年2月3日，PAX 自纽约法院取得针对债务人的 $116,402,019.57 判决（“PAX判决”）。PAX 试图通过扣押债务人的资产执行 PAX判决——包括 Lady May（“Lady May”号游艇），债务人虚假声称该游艇归其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，债务人虚假声称该公寓由信托为其儿子持有。债务人在判决后程序中抗拒纽约法院命令，最终导致其被处以 $134 million 的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将其替身实体，包括 HCHK Technologies，作为个人钱袋使用，为其本人及家人习以为常的奢华生活方式提供资金，同时将资产隐藏于这些替身实体中以躲避债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得追偿。债务人通过这些替身实体实施的转让延续了债务人的欺诈计划。\n\n21. 债务人已在破产法院作证称，其资产不足以清偿其负债，其奢华生活方式由其家人通过名义上由家庭成员持有的企业提供资金。11 债务人仅申报 $3,850 的资产。12\n\n11 关于债务人请求作出临时及最终 DIP 命令之动议的听证会：(I) 授权债务人取得无担保、次级的申请后融资；(II) 安排临时及最终听证会；以及 (III) 准予相关救济（主案，April 27, 2022）\n\n12 见脚注3\n\n22. 2023年3月，债务人被捕，并在等待就包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控受审期间持续被羁押。\n\n23. 在针对债务人的刑事起诉书中，美国政府主张，债务人及其共同被告“利用以至少80个不同实体或个人名义持有的超过约500个账户，清洗超过 $1 billion 的欺诈所得。”13\n\n24. 债务人的替身实体财产，包括 HCHK Technologies 的财产，在申请日之前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本案有关的所有期间，债务人在 New York, New York 开展业务，包括指挥实施本起诉状所涉的申请日前转让。\n\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n26. 本起诉状所涉的申请日前转让，均系通过债务人的替身空壳公司作出，该等公司作为债务人空壳游戏的一部分运作，因此该等转让均具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\n27. 债务人故意以此方式安排其财务事务，以在向其众多债权人虚假声称贫困的同时，隐匿和耗散数百万美元资产。债务人声称自己一贫如洗，同时却大肆花费，为其本人、家庭成员及密切关联人士维持亿万富翁生活方式。\n\n13 见 United States of America 就被告 Yanping Wang 的审前释放动议所提交的反对法律备忘录，第29页；该备忘录作为 Exhibit B 附于 Chapter 11 Trustee 对 G Club Operations LLC 补充反对受托人强制执行动议及相关救济请求的答复（June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934）。\n\n28. 债务人隐匿和耗散的资产包括其从加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划受害人处取得的资金。由于该等行为，债务人在 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）审理中的刑事案件中面临多项重罪欺诈、洗钱及有组织犯罪活动指控。见 United States v. Ho Wan Kwok, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.)。\n\n29. 债务人明知并意图通过以此方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会剩余足以偿还其债权人——包括其诸多欺诈受害人——的资产。因此，该转让必然具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过其替身空壳公司 HCHK Technologies 或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给被告（合称“申请日前转让”），包括但不限于如下：\n\n见随附并构成本起诉状一部分的附表A。\n\n31. 在申请日前转让时，债务人对债务人破产财产的债权人负有未清偿义务。\n\n32. 被告是申请日前转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求\n\n（依据《破产法典》第548(a)(1)(A)条及第550(a)条撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让之请求）\n\n33. 受托人重申并再次主张第1至32段所载的指控，如同在此完整载明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其替身实体 HCHK Technologies 作出申请日前转让时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n35. 债务人在实施申请日前转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，可由包括以下事项在内的情况证明：\n\na. 申请日前转让系使用替身空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 申请日前转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 申请日前转让是在债务人家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属的协助下，作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，以图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 申请日前转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中受益，而不使其财产受到其债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 申请日前转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受到其债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在申请日前转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括 PAX 在 PAX案件中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在申请日前转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n36. 受托人可依据《破产法典》第548(a)(1)(A)条撤销申请日前转让，并可依据《破产法典》第550(a)条追回该等转让。\n\n第二项请求\n\n（依据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law 第273、274和276条以及《破产法典》第544(b)条和第550(a)条撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让之请求）\n\n37. 受托人重申并再次主张第1至32段所载的指控，如同在此完整载明。\n\n38. 债务人通过其替身实体 HCHK Technologies 作出申请日前转让时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n39. 债务人在实施申请日前转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，可由包括以下事项在内的情况证明：\n\na. 申请日前转让系使用替身空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 申请日前转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 申请日前转让是在债务人家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属的协助下，作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，以图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 申请日前转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中受益，而不使其财产受到其债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 申请日前转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受到其债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在申请日前转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括 PAX 在 PAX案件中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在申请日前转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n40. 受托人可依据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law 第273(a)(1)、274和276条以及《破产法典》第544(b)条撤销申请日前转让，并可依据《破产法典》第550(a)条追回该等转让。\n\n救济请求\n\n因此，基于上述理由，受托人谨请求作出如下判决：\n\n1. 就第一项请求，(a) 作出命令，宣告金额不低于 $550,000.00 的申请日前转让依据《破产法典》第548(a)(1)(A)条予以撤销；(b) 作出命令，指示撤销申请日前转让；以及 (c) 依据《破产法典》第550(a)(1)条，为债务人破产财产利益，自被告处追回申请日前转让，或由受托人选择追回其价值；\n\n2. 就第二项请求，作出命令，宣告：(a) 金额不低于 $550,000.00 的申请破产前转让，依据《破产法》section 544(b) 及 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2), 274 and 276 予以撤销；(b) 命令撤销该等申请破产前转让；以及 (c) 为债务人财产的利益，依据 N.Y. Debt & Cred.
